Sergei Baruzdin's stories are different. Most of them are devoted to the relationship between people and animals. The writer vividly and colorfully describes how people show their best qualities in communication with nature. Through his stories, he conveys to us that animals need our care and love. See for yourself by reading “Snowball, Rabbi and Shashi”, “Moose in the Theater”, “The Unusual Postman” and other stories.
Very interestingly and with love, Sergei Baruzdin describes the world of a little man using the example of the boy Alyosha from “Alyoshka from our yard” and “When people are happy.” They tell a simple and clear story about goodness, responsibility and growing up. Sergei Baruzdin's children's stories carry a great charge of positivity. Read them and see for yourself.
“Baruzdin as a person, as a person who subsequently chose for himself that type of service to society, which is called writing, began during the war, and almost everything, and perhaps even everything further in his writing path was determined by this starting point, had its roots there , in the blood and sweat of war, in its roads, hardships, losses, defeats and victories.”
K. Simonov, “Reference point”, 1977
There lived a boy, Seryozha Baruzdin, in pre-war Moscow. Studied at school. I was drawing. Wrote poetry.
In Moscow there was a literary studio at the Palace of Pioneers, where the talented boy was sent. Since 1937his poems were published in Pionerka. Sergei was a childcare worker. His poems were different from the poems of other children in the junior circle in which Sergei studied; they were full of seriousness. Even as a child, Baruzdin believed: “Poems are poems and they should not be written the way you say or think.”.
The Great Patriotic War began suddenly for him. Instead of studying, a fourteen-year-old teenager had to go to work. Sergei thought: “Who can I be? I had dreams. [… ] But these were dreams of something that should not happen soon. When I grow up. When I finish school, where I still have to trumpet and trumpet. When I graduate from college. And of course, these dreams did not include today’s war.”
He got a job at the printing house of the newspaper "Moscow Bolshevik" for the debtor of a catoshnik(rolled rolls of paper to the rotary machine). And even in this work he felt great responsibility.
Baruzdin was enrolled in the voluntary squad, and during an air raid he had to be at his post - on the roof of his house. “I felt a feeling close to delight. Alone on a huge roof, and even with such a light show all around! This is much better than being on duty downstairs at the gate or in the entrance of the house. True, it was possible to chat there, there were many people on duty, and I was alone. And I still feel better! I seem to be the owner of the entire roof, the entire house, and now I see what no one sees.”- he said.
The printing house signed up volunteers for the people's militia, but they didn't take him there because he was only 15 years old. But he was taken as a volunteer to build defensive structures on Chistye Prudy.
On October 16, 1941, his father took Sergei to the front in a special battalion, which was formed from the People's Commissariat workers who remained in Moscow. He took it himself and defended it in front of some higher authorities when they tried to object. He even added a year to Sergei.
Like all boys, Sergei was more attached to his father than to his mother. He saw his father less often before the war, and especially during the war, but they always found a common language with each other, both in big and small matters. Sergei was especially proud of the fact that his father sometimes trusted him with secrets that he did not even trust with his mother.
Sergei wrote the very first poem about his father:
Once upon a time there lived a father
Very kind,
I just came late
And he took his work home.
This made his mother angry.
I thought:
Brought the car
And he brought work,
I put it on the shelf
But he didn’t disclose his work.
Every day
dad comes
Just go home for the night.
From such a big job
Our dad can be evil.
Sometimes it happens like this:
Our dad
Takes a job
And he sits over her all night.
In the morning dad
Tea swallows
And he runs to work with her.
On October 18, 1941, Sergei’s father died from a German mine fragment. He was buried on the fifth day at the German Cemetery. Among the hundreds of people with German surnames buried there, there now lay a man with a Russian surname.
The deaths didn't end there. Every day there were more and more of them. Sergei saw people he knew and did not know die. This was the horror of war.
What different people the war brought together. Sergei had never looked at people like that before. They were different, and he always accepted them as they were. But it was during the war that Sergei thought that different people are different human qualities inside every person. No people are entirely good or entirely bad. Every person has good and bad and everything. And it depends on the person himself, if he is a person and knows how to manage himself, which qualities prevail in him...
In 1945, Baruzdin took part in the capture of Berlin, and it was there that he especially acutely felt homesickness. He said: “Probably none of us need to say these words out loud now. Not for me, not for everyone else who came a thousand miles from their homes to Berlin. These words are in our very hearts, or rather, they are not even words. This is the feeling of homeland".
During the Great Patriotic War S. Baruzdin was at the fronts: near Leningrad, in the Baltic states, in the Second Belorussian, in the Far East (in Mukden, Harbin, Port Arthur).
“Of all my awards, the medal “For the Defense of Moscow” is one of my most expensive,” admitted Sergei Alekseevich. – And also medals “For the capture of Berlin” and “For the liberation of Prague.” They are my biography and geography of the war years.”
In 1958 Baruzdin graduated from the Gorky Literary Institute.
Sergei created war books: the novel “Repetition of the Past”, “The Tale of Women”, the story “Of course” and the novel “Noon”, which, alas, remained unfinished.
Everyone remembers the smart, kind, funny Baruzdin works for childhood and youth:"Ravi and Shashi", "How the Chickens Learned to Swim", "Moose in the Theater"and many others. More than two hundred children's and adult books of poetry and prose with a total circulation of over 90 million copies in 69 languages!
Since 1966 Sergey Alekseevich V headed the all-Union magazine “Friendship of Peoples”. Thanks to the energy, will, and courage of the editor-in-chief, the magazine always brought words of high artistic truth to readers from its pages.
On March 4, 1991, Sergei Alekseevich Baruzdin passed away. The writer’s books are republished and are still read today.
Baruzdin Sergey Alekseevich - poet, prose writer.
His father, being the deputy head of Glavtorf in Moscow, wrote poetry. Not without the influence of his father, Sergei began to become interested in poetry, publishing his first poems first in a wall newspaper, then in the large-circulation “Industry Headquarters”, in “Pionerskaya Pravda”, the magazine “Pioneer”, “Friendly Guys”. They were noticed by N.K. Krupskaya, at that time Deputy People's Commissar of Education, and she sent the young poet to the literary studio of the Moscow House of Pioneers. “I was fourteen when the war began and when the day before I was at my next lesson at the House of Pioneers. The war was already underway when I was fifteen... In the Red Army I served as a private in artillery reconnaissance... On the Oder bridgehead, in the Oppeln area, near Breslau, in the battles for Berlin, on the Elbe, and then in the dash to Prague we, seventeen-eighteen-year-old boys understood a lot...” (Baruzdin S. People and Books. M., 1978. P. 320-321).
Learning is not the sweetest thing.
Baruzdin Sergey Alekseevich
After demobilization, he worked and at the same time studied at evening school, then by correspondence at the Literary Institute. M. Gorky.
In 1950 he published his first poetry collection. for children “Who Built This House” and a collection of poems together with A.G. Aleksin “Flag”; in 1951 - a collection of stories “About Svetlana”, then a story in verse about a first-grader Galya and her friends. The poems are warmed by the author's personal attitude towards his characters.
In 1956 he published a book for children, Step by Step. Sat. are dedicated to the education of schoolchildren. poems “Who is studying today” (1955), the story “Lastochkin the Younger and Lastochkin the Elder” (1957).
L. Kassil characterized Baruzdin’s poems for children as follows: “Important in meaning, tightly coordinated...” (Baruzdin S. Your friends are my comrades. M., 1967. P.6). Baruzdin's talent is characterized by philosophy, parable-likeness, and rhetorical formulation in verse for children of their main thoughts. By talking with the child not only confidentially, but also seriously, the author strives to awaken in him the most important civic qualities - hard work, humanity, internationalism, a sense of duty and justice. The prose is even more problematic, the plots reveal the severity of conflicts; Baruzdin combined poetry and prose into the book “On Different Differences” (1959).
Addressing the little reader in books of the 1960s, Baruzdin turns to journalism: “A soldier was walking down the street,” “The country where we live,” “The country of Komsomol.” In the story for children “A Soldier Walked Down the Street,” the author teaches young readers the first lessons of patriotism. In the book “The Country Where We Live,” the narrator, together with his 5-year-old interlocutor, flies around the whole country on an airplane, they see the Urals, and Siberia, and Kamchatka, and the Far East, and the hero understands that our country is big and rich . The author skillfully and tactfully introduces little interlocutors into the complex web of difficult everyday problems: “Big Svetlana. Little stories" (1963), "Valya-Valentin. Poems" (1964), "It's Snowing... Stories" (1969).
In Baruzdin's books, a child comprehends the diverse beauty of life, learns kindness and the joy of being kind. The friendship of the Soviet and Indian peoples is described in the book “Gifts-Travelers” (1958). Here, in the stories “Ravi and Shashi” and “How Snowball Got to India,” the author has a serious conversation with the little reader about the friendship of peoples, about human responsiveness and solidarity. In the small but capacious and instructive story “Not Tomorrow,” as in the stories “The First of April - One Day of Spring” and “New Yards,” the author poses to schoolchildren questions of conscience and duty, selfish acquisitiveness and work for the common good.
Once upon a time there lived a father
Very kind,
I just came late
And he took his work home.
This made his mother angry.
These lines belong to the Soviet writer and poet Sergei Baruzdin. Simple and artless, but at the same time warm, like summer rain, they remain in our memory for a long time.
Creativity of Sergei Baruzdin
The writer lived and worked at a time when literature was under close censorship supervision. All published works were supposed to glorify Soviet power. Rarely has any writer managed to create a work that is not politicized, but Sergei Baruzdin did it.
All his work is illuminated by the warm light of humanity and love for people. He did not read morals and sermons, he showed both with his creativity and his life how to live so that it would be good not only for himself, but for all the people around him. He was called a true friend of children.
Throughout his life, the writer wrote more than 200 books for children and adults. The total circulation of his works is about 100 million copies. Books were published in approximately 70 languages of the world. His work was highly appreciated by Nadezhda Krupskaya and Lev Kassil, Konstantin Simonov and Maria Prilezhaeva.
Sergey Baruzdin: biography
He was born in Moscow in 1926. Dad wrote poetry and also taught his son to love poetry. Everything turned out very well: his works were published in the school wall newspaper, and then in the Pioneer magazine and the Pionerskaya Pravda newspaper. drew attention to the young talent and sent him to the literary studio of the House of Pioneers.
New acquaintances with interesting people, doing what you love - life was easy and beautiful, but everything changed, and the familiar world collapsed in a few hours when the Great Patriotic War began. A few months after this, my father died. Grief and death quickly burst into the world of fantasies and dreams of the young poet.
Sergei was only 14 years old, and he was eager to go to the front, but for obvious reasons they did not take him there. A year after the start of the war, having credited himself with a couple of years, he had already fought in artillery reconnaissance, participated in the defense of Moscow, took Berlin and liberated Prague. He was awarded orders and medals. More valuable than all other awards was the medal “For the Defense of Moscow.”
After the war he entered the school named after M. Gorky. After graduating, he was the editor of the magazines “Pioneer” and “Friendship of Peoples”. Worked on the board of the USSR Writers' Union. Sergei Baruzdin died on March 4, 1991.
Magazine "Friendship of Peoples"
At the age of 39, Baruzdin became the editor of not the most popular publication in the Soviet Union. The magazines they read were " New world", "October", "Banner". “Friendship of Peoples” was called “a mass grave of fraternal literature,” and this publication was absolutely not in demand.
But thanks to Sergei Baruzdin, it began to publish K. Simonov, Y. Trifonov, V. Bykov, A. Rybakov and other not only well-known, but also unknown authors. Many national writers and poets became popular only after publications in Friendship of Peoples. Baruzdin always had problems with censorship, but he knew how to protect writers and defend his position.
Baruzdin was able to make “Friendship of Peoples” one of the most beloved and read in the Soviet Union. The truth, no matter how bitter it may be, has become one of the features that distinguishes the magazine. Its pages perfectly combined Russian and translated literature.
Sergey Baruzdin: books
The development of the writer's personality was greatly influenced by the war. He went to the front when he was just a boy, but came back as a soldier who had seen a lot. At first he wrote about the war. These were stories, but the writer did not describe horrors, but funny stories that happened to him and his comrades at the front.
In 1951, the author wrote a book that is one of his business cards. This is a trilogy about the girl Svetlana. At the beginning of the book she is three years old, the girl is just getting acquainted with huge world which surrounds her. Short stories describe incidents from her life. Simply and clearly, Baruzdin teaches the reader important things: responsibility for an action, respect for elders, helping older people and much more.
Almost fifteen years after the war, he wrote an autobiographical novel, “Repetition of the Past.” The book covers a large period of time: peacetime, years of confrontation and post-war time. Baruzdin wrote about how hard it was for yesterday’s schoolchildren and schoolgirls during the war, and how early home boys and girls became warriors defending their homeland. Truthfulness and sincerity - that's distinctive features this book. At first it was written for an adult reader, and later it was remade for children by Sergei Baruzdin.
This author wrote poetry and prose, as well as journalism. He has many books for children in which he introduces them to the history of our homeland: “A Soldier Walked Down the Street” and “The Country Where We Live.” Books about the Great Patriotic War were also published: “Tonya from Semenovka” and “Her name is Elka.” There were also works about animals: “Ravi and Shashi” and “How Snowball Got to India.” In addition, it should be noted a collection of literary essays entitled “People and Books”.
Creativity of E. Asadov, A. Barto, L. Voronkova, L. Kassil, M. Isakovsky and many others Soviet writers and poets become closer and more understandable after reading essays about their lives written by Sergei Baruzdin.

Sergei Alekseevich Baruzdin was born July 22, 1926 in Moscow. His father, being the deputy head of Glavtorf in Moscow, wrote poetry.
Not without the influence of his father, Sergei began to become interested in poetry, publishing his first poems first in a wall newspaper, then in the large-circulation “Industry Headquarters”, in “Pionerskaya Pravda”, the magazine “Pioneer”, “Friendly Guys”. They were noticed by N.K.

On the Oder bridgehead, in the Oppeln area, near Breslau, in the battles for Berlin, on the Elbe, and then in the dash to Prague we, seventeen-eighteen-year-old boys understood a lot...” (Baruzdin S. People and Books. M., 1978. P. 320-321).
After demobilization, he worked and at the same time studied at evening school, then by correspondence at the Literary Institute. M. Gorky.
In 1950 published the first collection of poetry for children, “Who Built This House,” and a collection of poems together with A.G. Aleksin “Flag”; in 1951- a collection of stories “About Svetlana”, then a story in verse about a first-grader Galya and her friends. The poems are warmed by the author's personal attitude towards his characters.
In 1956 published a book for kids “Step by Step”. The collection of poems “Who is studying today” is dedicated to the education of schoolchildren ( 1955 ), the story “Swallow the Younger and the Swallow the Elder” ( 1957 ).
Baruzdin's talent is characterized by philosophy, parable-likeness, and rhetorical formulation in verse for children of their main thoughts. By talking with the child not only confidentially, but also seriously, the author strives to awaken in him the most important civic qualities - hard work, humanity, internationalism, a sense of duty and justice. The prose is even more problematic, the plots reveal the severity of conflicts; Baruzdin combined poetry and prose into the book “About Different Differences” ( 1959 ).
Addressing the little reader in books from the 1960s, Baruzdin turns to journalism: “A soldier was walking down the street,” “The country where we live,” “The country of Komsomol.” In the story for children “A Soldier Walked Down the Street,” the author teaches young readers the first lessons of patriotism. In the book “The Country Where We Live,” the narrator, together with his 5-year-old interlocutor, flies around the whole country on an airplane, they see the Urals, and Siberia, and Kamchatka, and the Far East, and the hero understands that our country is both big and rich . The author skillfully and tactfully introduces little interlocutors into the complex web of difficult everyday problems: “Big Svetlana. Little stories" ( 1963 ), “Valya-Valentin. Poetry" ( 1964 ), "It's Snowing... Stories" ( 1969 ).
In Baruzdin's books, a child comprehends the diverse beauty of life, learns kindness and the joy of being kind. The friendship of peoples is described in the book “Gifts-Travelers” ( 1958 ). Here, in the stories “Ravi and Shashi” and “How Snowball Got to India,” the author has a serious conversation with the little reader about the friendship of peoples, about human responsiveness and solidarity. In the small but capacious and instructive story “Not Tomorrow”, as in the stories “The First of April - One Day of Spring”, “New Yards”, the author poses to schoolchildren questions of conscience and duty, selfish acquisitiveness and work for the common good.
In the novel for adults “Repetition of the Past” ( 1964 ) Baruzdin significantly supplemented the artistic chronicle of the Great Patriotic War. The author shows how romantically minded but domestic boys who have not experienced the blows of fate grow into courageous soldiers. The press also noted the originality of the composition of the novel, its action begins and ends in 1961 - the year of Yuri Gagarin's flight, and between this frame - the years of the Great Patriotic War, with each year given a special chapter.
The theme of war is also developed in Baruzdin’s books “Her Name is Elka”, “Tales of Women” ( 1967 ). The image of women in war is the theme of this book. It tells about a teenage girl who, at the beginning of the war, took part in the battles near Naro-Fominsk and died heroically while performing a combat mission. The story “Tasya,” named after her heroine, outlines the path of a woman who was wounded, lost a child, but heroically went through the entire war. In the story “Believe and Remember,” the heroine is a home front worker during the war, a participant in the heroic post-war reconstruction national economy.
Baruzdin acted as a literary historian. He devoted many interesting articles to the works of E. Asadov, A. Barto, L. Voronkova, A. Vergelis, M. Isakovsky, K. Kalchev, V. Kataev, A. Keshokov and other writers. The book “Notes on Children's Literature” contains articles about more than 60 writers.
In 1978 the book “People and Books” was published (republished in 1982). Required a reissue and came out in 1985 Baruzdin’s book “Writer. Life. Literature"; expanded reissue released in 1990- here are portraits of M. Karim, O. Gonchar, N. Gribachev, G. Gulia, M. Dudin, M. Bazhan, S. Orlov, T. Pulatov, A. Yugov and many others. Understanding the spiritual essence of this or that artist for Baruzdin is the key to his work; the judgments of the author of the book are especially valuable and interesting here.
Over a quarter of a century of work in literature, the circulation of Baruzdin’s books amounted to more than 30 million copies, they were published in more than 50 languages of the world. The writer was also involved in translations, translated poetry and prose - works by A. Aripov, Sh. Beishenaliev, G. Boyko, G. Vieru, Sh. Rashidov, G. Yushkov.
In 1953-1955 worked in the editorial office of the Pioneer magazine; then the editorial work was continued in the magazine “Friendship of Peoples”, where, as editor-in-chief, Baruzdin did a lot for publication in Russian best works writers of the peoples of the USSR. He also worked actively in the leadership of the USSR Joint Venture and on its board.
